Hey there,
I'm a somewhat experienced investor ... bought over 40 houses and still own about 15. I started young ... at age 22. Just wanted to see what this "social networking" thing is all about and help out a few people in the process. Maybe I can answer some questions that beginners may have. Nowadays, I spend much of my time providing a list of wholesale deals and motivated seller leads to investors on my website. I chose to be a full-time investor for the LIFESTYLE and the freedom from the prison they call Corporate America. :-) Looking forward to getting to know a few of you!
Hey Doug and welcome. I'm glad you like the site and hope you'll share some of your experience with the rest of us, and especially the newer investors on the site.
Thanks for the big welcome everyone! It's especially nice to get a welcome from the site owner (Joshua), a local to the Houston area (Chris), and someone who appears to have been a member of the website I own (Stephen Moore). I have a Steve Moore out of Philly in my database. Stephen, is that you?
good to connect with an experienced investor like yourself. We're always looking for deals in Central TX and all throughout Southern CA from Santa Barbara to San Diego. Your website is a great source for deals as I have found. Talk to you soon.
Thanks for the welcome Blake. Glad to hear my team and I have been able to help you with your investing. We'll keep sending those Central Texas and LA-area deals your way! Can't help you with San Diego ... YET. ;-)
:D Doug Smith (MyHouseDeals.com): I am a non-subscription member to your site. Why is it whenever i use the "contact seller by e-mail" function i never, ever get any responses?. I've sent numerous inquiries to sellers (just inquiries) and no response. Thanks, Dan
Hey Dan! I'm sorry to hear that. The sellers provide us with their email addresses and our system does send your message to them. My guess would be that the sellers you've contacted aren't proactive about replying to emails. Maybe a phone call would be better. The members of the site that seem to have the most success usually call instead of email, probably for the same reason you mentioned.
